Ex-Liberal's Pivotal Moment: Attempted Assassination Solidifies Pro-Trump Support

Following an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Stepfanie Tyler, a former liberal activist, has publicly declared her support for the ex-president, expressing newfound patriotism and dissatisfaction with the left.

Seven years ago, Stepfanie Tyler marched through Las Vegas clad in a t-shirt adorned with a vulgar anti-Trump slogan. Now, after an attempted assassination on the former president, she has renounced her liberal beliefs and embraced her newfound support for Trump.

Tyler, a former women's studies major, found herself disillusioned with the left in recent years. The assassination attempt, she says, was a turning point for her.

"Seeing Trump stand up and pump his fist in the air after an attempted assassination, something inside me was like, ‘Oh. Patriotism. I feel it,’" Tyler told Fox News Digital.

Tyler's social media post announcing her switch in political allegiance went viral, garnering tens of millions of views and igniting a wave of similar declarations from individuals who had previously been hesitant to voice their pro-Trump sentiments.

Tyler described her transformation as a gradual process, influenced by a myriad of factors, including the excesses of the Me Too movement, the debate over biological sex, and the consequences of DEI policies. However, she had long feared speaking up about her true opinions, believing it would jeopardize her livelihood.

Despite secretly registering as a Republican in 2018, Tyler voted for Biden in 2020, believing him to be a better option than Trump. However, after listening to Trump's appearance on the "All-In" podcast, she began to reconsider her stance.

The attempted assassination at Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, was the final catalyst for Tyler's decision to publicly endorse him. Watching Trump emerge from the incident with blood on his face, punching the air as an American flag billowed behind him, ignited a sense of patriotism within her.

"I wanted to talk about it, right? I felt this sense of patriotism," she said. "I’m part of this great country that the left wanted me to look at through this lens that just didn’t fit."

Tyler emphasized that she did not feel particularly brave in writing her now-viral post but rather impatient for change. She expressed her desire to contribute to the country's progress and support innovators like Elon Musk and David Sacks, who have also endorsed Trump.

According to Tyler, she has been inundated with messages from individuals who feel "suffocated" by popular narratives and are beginning to break free from their ideological constraints. The assassination attempt, she believes, has sparked a sense of patriotism in these voters, who now see the right as the defender of America.
